Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{5(2x - 1) = 85}\\\\\large\textbf{DISTRIBUTE 5}\\\mathsf{5(2x) + 5(-1) = 85}\\\mathsf{10x - 5 = 85}\\\\\large\textbf{ADD 5 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathsf{10x - 5 + 5 = 85 + 5}\\\\\large\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\\\mathsf{10x = 85 + 5}\\\mathsf{10x = 90}\\\\\large\textbf{DIVIDE 10 to. BOTH SIDES}\\\mathsf{(10x)/(10) = (90)/(10)}\\\\\large\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\\\mathsf{x = (90)/(10)}\\\mathsf{x = 9}\\\\\\\huge\text{Thus, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{x = 9}}}\huge\checkmark`
